About Me

Yes, I do laundry. But the title of this blog comes more from the mixed bag of roles that make up my life than from the dirty clothes that fill our closet.
I never set out to 'have it all', which is a good thing, since what I've been given is much richer than anything I could have searched for.

"Is that a toy?"

This is one of my most-used lines with my five year old. Today it's been used with:

the bathroom plunger

the extension tube of the vacuum cleaner

a sticky note pad

packing peanuts

the colander

a knitting needle

a box of envelopes

From a child's perspective everything is a toy. I appreciate inventiveness (a good thing, if you know Little GUy!), and given a choice between self-entertained kids and mess, I'll opt for creative chaos every time. However, I do like to know where the measuring spoons are. We're working on it.
